  The wine is clear, medium intense golden core with a greene hue, medium thick watery rim, developing.
  
  Nose is clean, medium intense aromas of amalfi lemon, red/yellow apples, Nutts, almonds, oak, butterish, toasted wood, minerals, deep complexity, developing
  
  Palate is dry, medium+ acidity, medium alcohol (almost m+), medium+ body and flavour intensity, high-dry-extract with aromas of grilled/baked lemon, ripe apples, grant, flint, minerals, Nutts and almonds, oak, toast, hint of caramell/toffee, liquorice root, long finish
  
  Well balanced, long mineralic and liquorice dominated finish with a slight bitterness like lemon peel, medium+ intense cause of the acidity and dry-extract, complexity is deep and the best quality, concentration is solid. Drink now and next 5 years, maybe longer. Outstanding quality 92p

  Great, complex verdejo, almost Burgundian. White flowers and peach on the nose. Medium body, creamy and grassy. Opulent, better with food. Right QPR at $24.

  To kjappe:
  2013 Ossian. Lys gul kjerne med vandig kant. Ved åpning er dette i overkant blomstrete både i nese og munn, strammer seg litt opp utover kvelden og viser noe sitrus og nøtt. Etter et døgn under kork i kjøleskap har blomstersolisten blitt akkompagnert av kandisert sitron, nøtter, epler og mineraler. Langt friskere i munn og en strålende nøttepreget lengde. Hadde garantert gjettet hvit sentralburgund om denne hadde kommet blindt. 92p

  Con el paso del tiempo los Ossian han ido saliendo al mercado algo más "comedidos" de madera. De color amarillo dorado este 2013 sigue teniendo un perfil olfativo marcado por las vainillas y los tostados, si bien hay una expresión frutal bastante bien definida, con algo de fruta blanca y también de fruta con hueso (ciruela amarilla en sazón). En boca el ataque es bueno, pasa cremoso, hay sensación de materia, la madera está relativamente bien integrada, no anda mal de acidez, es bastante largo, estructurado y placentero. 2/3 años de botella le debería de sentar muy bien...
